Alex Mack-Shaun Smith genital-grabbing rivalry resumes

In 2009, Alex Mack and Shaun Smith were teammates in Cleveland, going head-to-head in practice every day. In 2010 Smith had moved on to the Chiefs, and when they met on the field Mack accused Smith of grabbing his genitals.

Now Smith is playing defensive tackle for the Titans, and Mack is still the center for the Browns, coming off a Pro Bowl season in 2010. They’ll meet again on Sunday, and Smith says he’s planning to treat Mack the way he always treated him.

“During his rookie year, I used to tell him he should give his money back. I used to tell him he wasn’t worth a first-round pick,” Smith told Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean. “It’s nothing personal or anything like that. That’s just how I felt. . . . He didn’t say nothing. I mean, I was kicking his [butt] the whole camp and I had a good game when we played them last year.”

Yes, Smith had a good game against Mack — except the whole genital grabbing thing. How does Smith explain that?

“You can’t believe everything you hear,” Smith said. “The league sorted it all out — no fine.”

Smith says he was “a little bitter” when the Browns cut him, but he adds that “I got the last laugh at the end of the day.” As Mack prepares to play against his old teammate and nemesis, he’s hoping he’ll be able to say the same thing at the end of the day on Sunday.

i am a browns fan and this joker was a jackass from day 1, so glad when they cut him, he is a loser, and will always be a loser. its punks like this that need to be banned from the sport, “junk” grabbing, really? i’m sure we will see him behind bars shortly so no worries.

Shaun Smith is a loudmouth journeyman who always overstates and underperforms. I hope the Browns watch the tape of Balitmore’s blocking techniques on the Steelers in week one and gives big mouth Smith some of the same medicine. There’s a reason this guy is with his FOURTH team now. He’s all fizz, no gin.

Shawn Smith never lasts more that two years on any team. What does that tell you? His comment about dominating Mack are nothing more than his own egotistical fodder and probably rooted in his own jealousy that Mack was going to be really good and get a long term contract when he himself could never achieve that. The fact that it was proven that he was grabbing other players junk and trying to rip it off illustrates perfectly that this is a real low-life piece of dirt. I mean really…what more do you need to know???

“…And considering that a week later another player made the same accusation against Smith, and this time there was video and Smith was fined, Smith probably shouldn’t be too gleeful about the whole thing.

….but he adds that “I got the last laugh at the end of the day.”

Multiple accusations over grabbing other dudes’ junk? Video proof of one occurrence of him grabbing someone’s package? A fine leveled by his employer over it? That’s “last laugh” material?

Shaun Smith could have been a great player, but his attitude is so bad that he can’t even let himself be good, let alone great. He’ll make one amazing play every two or three weeks then he rests on that until the heat gets back on him. He was on a local call in show in cleveland and he did not hide the fact that he cares about nobody but himself.
